2 ACLs in 2 weeks at VFL. 3rd for year including Clarke. It’s stuffen disgraceful

What is disgraceful? Are you "blaming" the medical & conditioning staff for someone doing a ACL?

If their strength training isn't done properly, then a muscle imbalance makes stuff like ACLs much much much more likely.

 

Inb4 the Meehan mob swarm the thread again to throw themselves on the grenade.....

Someone needs to step up and call the situation out. I am sick of this club being week. Honestly, how 4 umpires missed that sling tackle was a joke. And I have to wonder why the AFL itself hasn't looked into these blatant discrepancies themselves. How can they not know...

Walker did the same thing to Dustin years ago and was reported. What is just as disgraceful was Hipwood struck Vlastuin and Vlastuin strikes back and the free goes against Vlastuin.  The umpire was either incredibly stupid or just plain biased

Let’s go back to round 15 , 2011 - it was Dimma’s 37th game as senior coach.

Richmond played Carlton and we got belted by 103 points .

That Richmond team contained
Cotchin
Riewoldt
Rance
Martin
Edwards
Grigg
Houlli

It also contained players who a few years later played in September for us
Deledio
Newman
Griffiths
King
Vickery


Yze needs time and a major change in luck when it come to injuries which has been nothing short of catastrophic. He also access to elite talent via the draft . He needs to move on the dead wood , some of which have multiple premiership medallions . There isn’t a coach in the AFL who could guide this team to victory at the moment.

How is he supposed to coach when there is no continuity at selection.

This year should come with an asterisk **

Well said mat.

The MRO round up. Hipwood surely likely to be suspended for his dump tackle with both of Vlastuin’s arms pinned.

Yet the ump paid HTB  .

Rankine .... 24.2m (17 steps) = ran too far.
Sharp ....... 22.3m (17 steps) = play on.
